This may surprise you, but your acts of sin did not make you a sinner according to the Bible. You were made a sinner, inherited a sin nature, due to Adam’s disobedience, similar to how many deadly diseases can be inherited.
For as through the one man's disobedience (Adam) the many were made sinners, Rom 5:19a NAS
A sin nature, sins by nature. Those acts of sin have led to condemnation and death under God’s law. So, in truth, you inherited death from Adam.
Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned. Roman 5:12

Since your inherited sin nature is the core problem, good works or trying to stop sin cannot fix things. You may say this is not fair or just and thankfully God agrees.
“Now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them? “I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly.” Luke 18:7-8a NAS

God’s justice does not seek your punishment. Instead, He sent Jesus to save you, to bring justice and recompense for the elect, whomsoever will have faith and believe and trust in God’s Word. Undoing what Adam did, Jesus’ obedience made righteousness before God readily available to you.

Even so through the obedience of the One (Jesus) the many will be made righteous. Rom 5:19b NAS
Jesus is the way for your spirit to be born again.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 NAS

Born under Him instead of Adam, you are set free from the condemnation and death you inherited.

Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3 ESV

Please, let Jesus give you the gifts of justice, mercy, forgiveness, reconciliation and righteousness. Repent (change your mind) and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the only way to be saved.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:16-18 NAS

But he said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” Luke 18:27 ESV

Today is the day of your salvation, let God’s justice make you righteous. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved.

That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. Rom 10:9-10 NAS
So that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.


Titus 3:7 NAS
For if by the transgression of the one (Adam), death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17 NAS
who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Tim 2:4 NAS

For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies,” declares the Lord GOD. “Therefore, repent and live!” Ezk 18:32 NAS

Many more New Covenant Bible Studies HERE. Jesus poured out His blood for the New Covenant of grace and truth, replacing the Old Covenant law of Moses. Believers are exclusively under the New Covenant, the last will and testament of Jesus that began after the cross.
And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.” Luke 22:20

Paul said that the Jews that were accusing the gentiles of breaking the law were doing the same things the gentiles were doing.
GOD looks at the heart man looks at outward appearances
